Join CCWS on the evening of Thursday, April 13th for snacks, drinks, and a free screening of Stanley Kubrick's classic 1964 film Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb! This cult classic—starring the comic genius Peter Sellers in multiple roles—blasted a gaping hole in conventional wisdom on the Cold War, nuclear weapons, and national authority. Before the screening, Dr. Salim Yaqub will offer brief remarks about the historical moment in which the film appeared before we settle in to savor the cinematic masterpiece. This event is free of charge.
